This week Todd and Rachel discuss the Fantasy Suite episode of Matt's Season of the Bachelor.  Once again, we dive headfirst into the toxicity of this season, and reiterate maybe too many times, how much we hated it. Dear god we're almost done. 

NEW GUY MATT: Oops! All Bloopers!

March 04, 2021 19:00 - 1 hour - 54.6 MB

With such a disappointing Women Tell All, Todd and Rachel bring the HEAT.  WE talk about 7th grade, katanas, incest, *more* racism, do an angry and unbridled recap of this stupid, stupid season, and even talk about representation in college theater.  And we hold Matt accountable for not holding these white women accountable.  C'mon, Matt! Also, let's applaud Todd for posting this on time for once? 

NEW GUY MATT Who even needs schedule anymore?

March 04, 2021 01:00 - 1 hour - 47.4 MB

This week is a whole lotta NOTHING.  WE dissect the Chris Harrison drama and add very little that hasn't already been said.  WE forget that we're supposed to talk about the episode, and Rachel gets a call from her mom!  Riveting stuff!

Botchelor UNCUT

February 25, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 75.8 MB

I'm gonna be real with you, life has been busy and we recorded this 2 weeks ago.  We're recording another one tonight.  I remember asking Katie out on a date, and unfunnily applying for the Bachelor.  I . . . don't remember much else. What follows is an uncut episode of whatever the f*** we recorded. Please forgive me. 

New Guy Matt: Zebra Babies

February 08, 2021 18:00 - 1 hour - 63.5 MB

This week, Todd and Rachel hope they're done talking about the toxicity in the house, book stores, Peppercorn (Peppercorn is not a sponsor of the podcast . . . yet.) The logistics of a human female giving birth to a zebra and the subsequent raising of that Zebra child to be a successful adult in contemporary society.  Unfortunately not kidding. 

New Guy Matt- Matt Drools, Katie Rulez!

January 25, 2021 22:00 - 1 hour - 67.7 MB

This week, even though it's a little late, Todd and Rachel discuss Victoria's royal pain in the bum, Matt's complete lack of accountability,  President Jimmy Carter,  Sarah's missteps, and Katie's complete and total emotional accessibility in seemingly any situation.  But mostly we make jokes. 

New Guy Matt- Let Them Eat Roses

January 16, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 63.2 MB

This week, Todd and Rachel talk bullying, childhood pregnancy, shouting, and the fact that oh my god we are so tired by the time we record this podcast.  Also there are two dates and Victoria continues to be the absolute worst.  I know there's a different name in the episode but I forgot to write it down and don't have time to find it again. --Todd

New Guy Matt

January 07, 2021 22:00 - 1 hour - 69.2 MB

After a very long hiatus, Todd and Rachel reunite to talk about New Guy Matt, seemingly the sexiest person alive, and how he's already gearing up to botch the Bachelor.  We try to remember all the women's names, but there are too many, and as always, we Stan Chris Harrison

Pilot Pete: They Told All and SO DO WE

March 13, 2020 20:00 - 1 hour - 71.6 MB

This week Todd and Rachel tackle a breadth of subjects, none of which have anything to do about the Bachelor. There's OJ Simpson, JK Rowling didn't write the Harry Potter Books, Todd discovers an obsession with nose shapes, and Rutherford B. Hayes stops by!

PILOT PETE: To Bone? Or not to Bone? That is the question . . .

March 04, 2020 03:00 - 1 hour - 67.3 MB

THIS WEEK  Pete Botches things a little less (But still completely effs up), Madison definitely doesn't give him an ultimatum, Todd shares too much about his high-school drama and Rachel ACES it.  Because that's what she always does.  She aces it. Oh, and maybe some people have sex.  We don't know.  It's very vague.

PILOT PETE: Pete, Go Home(towns)

February 26, 2020 21:00 - 1 hour - 63.3 MB

February 11, 2020 03:00 - 1 hour - 66 MB

In this episode, Todd and Rachel pull double duty and subject themselves to two wildly different episodes of the Bachelor.  Todd plays Red Dead 2 and tries to deconstruct Pete's emotional state, and Rachel keeps peaking the audio but hopefully it's not too bad right now.

Cleveland is . . . Cool?

February 05, 2020 21:00 - 59 minutes - 40.9 MB
